It's about the sweet-spot. A professional photographer uses Photoshop in a manner that doesn't work well as a web app. However, a party goer takes snaps and posts them to their web space of choice. Same core concept, different level of use and thus different environment. The platform choice is based upon the target audience. There's plenty of room for both approaches.
Similar dichotomy exists in most spaces, casual word processing works well over the web, but I'd rather write a thesis with a desktop hosted word processor. Ditto for IDE's, CAD, NLE, spreadsheets, etc.
